Exercising In Nature Is Grounding

When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are hormones that block pain signals from your brain. Endorphins also trigger a feeling of euphoria, which is why exercise can be addictive. But there’s another benefit to working out that’s often overlooked: exercise in nature is grounding.

You’re surrounded by the earth’s energy when you’re in nature. This energy is known as “earthing” or “grounding.” It’s said to be beneficial for your health and can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and inflammation.

One study found that earthing helped to improve sleep quality and reduce stress levels in the participants. Another study found that earthing may help to improve blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation in people with diabetes.

If you’re looking for a way to reduce stress and anxiety, or if you’re struggling with sleep quality or blood sugar levels, consider spending time in nature and exercising outdoors. Not only will you get in a good workout, but you’ll also be grounding yourself and reaping the benefits of this natural energy.
